USB 3.0 Slimline SATA Adapter

This USB 3.0 to 13Pin Slimline SATA adapter cable connects laptop internal 7+6 slim SATA optical drives to computers via USB interface. It lets you reuse spare slim CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and DVD-RW drives as portable external disc readers without bulky enclosures. The precisely matched 13Pin connector provides a tight, stable connection for reliable operation.

USB 3.0 Interface Limits

Adopting the USB 3.0 transmission standard, the cable ensures reliable signal transmission for disc reading, media playback and disc burning tasks. It is only suitable for slimline SATA optical drives and not for standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hard disk drives. The plug-and-play design requires no driver installation on Windows or Mac OS systems.

Upgrades Internal Optical Drives

This adapter replaces the need for an internal drive bay or external enclosure by converting a built-in slim optical drive into a portable USB device. The jump is worth it when you have a spare laptop slim optical drive and need to read data discs, watch video DVDs, back up files or burn discs on a machine lacking an internal bay.
